One of the benefits to being a real estate agent in Estes Park, Colorado is the opportunity I get to drive around in my area and enjoy the amazing views. This week I had the pleasure of showing property to a prospective buyer near Allenspark along the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway on a gorgeous early summer day in the Rocky Mountains. While the picture quality may not be the best since I took it with my Blackberry while driving, it does give you a an idea of how gorgeous the drive is. The tall mountain on the right is Mount Meeker with the Continental Divide to the left.
If you live in the Denver area and haven’t taken the opportunity to drive this stretch of road yet, I would highly recommend it. To get to the byway head west of Golden to Blackhawk and follow highway 72 north to connect with Highway 7. Eventually, after 55 miles, you will end up in Estes Park. The snow capped mountain views are simply spectacular the entire way.
